From the reviews:“The purpose of this book is to introduce sound risk measurement practices which form bases of good risk management policies and solvency regulation. … I warmly recommend this book to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, financial mathematics, actuarial science, solvency and insurance. … The models proposed are original and very up-to-date. The book could be an essential tool for people working with financial modeling, actuarial valuation, and solvency in insurance.” (Răzvan Răducanu, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2013)
